Question

I need to know how to solve this

Answer 1

A. 2.5 laps is 1 km

It takes Angel 5 minutes to run a km

Jayden ran 1.2 laps in 5 minutes, so if you subtract 1/5 of the time that it took him to run that, then you would see how long it took him to go 1 km.

.2 × 5 = 1

So it took him 4 minutes to go 1 km

B. Half of what Angel ran in 2 minutes would give you what she ran in 1 minute, so half of 1 lap (2/5 km) is 1/5 km. So, Angel can run 1/5 km in 1 minute.

For Jayden, find 1/5 of the 6/5 km that he ran. 1/5 × 6/5 = 6/25 = .24 km in 1 mintue.

C. Jayden is running faster. Jayden can go 3 times the length that Angel can go in less than 3 times the amount of time
